INITIAL_PLAINTEXT_LENGTH to 16 and set a flag to indicate short
password(flag=0) or long password(flag=1).
The we malloc each password length to 16. In set_key function, if we have a
password larger than 16. We reallocate(free-malloc or realloc) all the
password length to 107(The maximum of Mac Lion password length).
I think it works. A lot of malloc may slow down some speed. I will try
first. Here is still a question, I don't know whether or not we need so
long password?(i.e. 107? or could it be shorter?)
BTW, On my G9600M GS, the MAX_KEYS_PER_CRYPT is 256*128. The speed is
no difference with PLAINTEXT_LENGTH set to 16 or 107. However, on GTX580,
the MAX_KEYS_PER_CRYPT is 4096*512. There is ~8M c/s slow down(74M c/s to
66M c/s).
